Yes.

| How?

MPI, PVM, NWS, Snow, ...

You could have a look at the slides from my introductory tutorial at useR!
earlier this months. About one-third of the material was about parallel
computing approaches to R. It's at the top of this page:

Some other talks I gave at earlier conferences cover some of this too.

Of course, other talks from the conference may be relevant for you too. See
the 'Presentation' link at

Hope this helps, Dirk
